Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson has given an update on the Robins following that pulsating win against Hull at the weekend.

The former Barnsley and Oldham boss was talking to Geoff Twentyman on the BBC Radio Bristol show Sound of the City in a pre-recorded interview.

And as well as revealing that a City player is about to sign a new deal in the next few days, he also explained that Callum O'Dowda is set to be out for 'two to three weeks' with the injury he sustained in Saturday's win.

"There's hopefully going to be some contract news that will come out over the next few days that will hopefully be a good one for us.

"A player that's done well but I'll wait to surprise you with that one," he hinted.

The head coach also confirmed that Bobby Reid, Josh Brownhill and others have at least 19-20 months left on those deals at Ashton Gate and reiterated that talks with Reid, Brownhill and Bryan are continuing.

"Talks are certainly continuing with Bobby, Josh and Joe because they know that we want to build a team around them," said Johnson.

"Certainly we're trying - it's difficult and notoriously we're not huge payers in the division and there are some big clubs with some parachute payments and they come with huge resources, particularly in wages," said Johnson.

The 36-year-old gaffer spoke too about how City can further improve this season.

"We've not been good enough at going through teams," he explained adding that the next evolution for his team will be to be able to find a way past those sides who come and play in a 'low block', like Burton did recently.

Meanwhile, talking about how the squad spend their week, Johnson said that he had made changes this season to their day-to-day activities.

"We try and give them Sundays off most weeks where possible. We structure our week a bit differently now. It's worked well this year - being off on a Thursday and then a little bit of a brighter, sharp session on a Friday, give them their legs for the Saturday, Sunday off as much as we can.

"Then we tend to have a double Monday and Tuesday then in on Wednesday and back off Thursday depending on if we've got a night game on a Tuesday.

"Today we actually gave the lads a day off because yesterday we had a Christmas session at the Avon Valley Adventure Park, which was fantastic. All the lads brought their kids, nieces or nephews... it was a really nice day."
